surgery

[Guest guest]

Hi Debbie,This group is not about approval or disapproval. You have come here to look for help and guidance in your fight against cancer.You have chosen surgery for your own reasons. Please be advised that when a cancer is cut out that it can trigger dormant cancer that has drifted to other areas (metastasis) to begin their own growth. (someone here who can explain this better, please feel free to jump in)If it was me and I had a cancer, I would go with budwig full bore. I have diabetes and use the budwig protocol to help me with that condition. If I could do any one thing, it would be the Budwig Protocol. Even though you will be having the surgery, please consider using the budwig protocol up until and after surgery to help keep the cancer from springing up in another part of

your body.Regards, BastidaFrom: debbie williamson <deb54@...>Subject: Fw: surgeryiodine Date: Saturday, February 6, 2010, 9:05 AM

Hi everyone:

Consultation with surgeon in Philadelphia went extremely well.

I have a surgery date of Feb 16.

This is the decision I feel I can live with...I know many of you will disapprove.. .but I have my reasons..many reasons. The rest I will put in God's hands.

That does not mean I am not cleaning up my diet and planning to take what supplements I can afford to take....and I need and will need some guidance with this....I hope you will all still be here for me...

Thanks for your support and being here...I'll be back. LOL

Yes, :

We are slowing killing ourselves....chemicals everywhere.

Would have been nice to live in earlier years....but we don't.

I was surprised to find out about the bromide...especially how it is in our cars, computers, furniture, etc...

Another factor with me is I lived very close to Three Mile Island when they had their "little" accident...and have lived in the eastern PA area for all but six years of my life....I'm in the "nuclear reactor belt".....

Thanks for your comments.

When in pre-op going to operating room do you need to inform Dr. or

anesthesiologist you want to go to sleep before OR or what? I read a blog

where a woman got herself on the table and saw everything going on in OR

until she fell asleep. I specifically don't want to see OR...

Have a great day!

I guess I never thought of it.  They want you awake pre-op so they can

converse with you to make sure you know what you are there for, you are still

giving permission to do surgery on you, and that you tell them, and mark the

side they are going to do surgery on to protect them from making a mistake (like

putting the implant in your foot, or some dumb thing like that---LOL).  When I

was rolled into the operating room it was quite fascinating to see all the

nurses bustling about getting ready, and then seeing the surgeon again right

before they put me out.  I felt very comforted, and very trusting as they put

me under. 

But, I'm sure, if you are very nervous about it, it would be a very good idea

for you to talk to the surgeon and the anesthesiologist about it.  They may

have made concessions for people before, and maybe could do so for you.  They

will want you to feel very comfortable.

Hi Debbie

If you are feeling nervous, they can give you a pre op med, usually valium if

you are feeling overly nervous, but they definatly won,t put you out untill you

are transfered to the table,as that is where the ventilator is situated and you

will neet to be intubated as soon as the anasthetic takes affect to help you

breath, you wont feel this and it will be out before they bring you around

again, best to tell the attending nurse when you book in or at the pre admission

clinic that you are feeling anxious so that can help you out.

Good luck

Debbie,

when i had open heart surgery they put me out just before i went into OR. since

then i've had a number of other surgeries, and they kept me conscious until i

was in the OR and lying on the table. i was very apprehensive, as you are, but

wasn't bad (possibly because i asked for at least a mild tranquillizer). OR

people were very supportive, and OR not as scary as i expected. one tip: some

hospitals have a person on staff to help deaf/heard-of-hearing patients. they

usually don't volunteer this. you have to ask. for my CI surgery, someone came

into OR with me and wrote instructions, soothing words etc on a white board so i

could understand easily. helped enormously. best of luck...whatever happens, i'm

sure you'll be fine. but definitely ask for whatever you need to be at ease.

I've always had 'issues' with this too. My trick was a 'gianormous' bite

of something like a peanut-butter & jelly sandwich. Chew it up somewhat

and then just before swallowing I'd stick the pill in and then mush the

pill into the other stuff with my tongue and swallow. It usually went

down. I often looked slightly down while I did it. I know ... he's

three. The other option ... will the doc let you use a pill crusher? You

can get them at the pharmacy. Then you're a spoonful of pudding or

applesauce away from pay dirt.

All the best,

Matt

Yes, he did have a small ctoma. The dr said that it was small and the boarders were "good" so that he thought a second surgery would not be neccesarry. History: they found his by looking at the ear drum- no symptoms. we will see. He did say that he has a 5year plan to follow up with us. Maybe that means a ct scan every year.

On the odd occasion when my kids needed medication I'd use a small syringe and squirt it directly into the back of the throat followed by quickly offering them a tasty milk drink, like chocolate milk. They have never had an issue taking meds.

Thanks Arun...that;s what i thought too that having a ctoma there no matter how small is a risk.The only contraindication i could think of was if a person is in their 60 or older and its high risk to do surgery and the likelihood that it grows is low considering theyre in their 60s or older and its had a whole lifetime to grow!!Ling From: Arun Gupta <drarunjind@...>To:

Hello! I just wanted to post a quick update about my surgery on April 8th. It

went well and I actually came home to Colorado this week. I mostly feel okay-

the worst part is lack of energy and the feeding tube. I hate it- but I am

trying to be patient. I am going back to Cleveland on May 14th to have an

endoscopy and hopefully start clear liquids. Dr. Rice said that about 3 weeks

after that I can have my feeding tube removed. Is this a similar time schedule

to what you all followed?

The only weird post surgery side effect is that I seem to be getting air stuck

in my system- like I am burping a lot. Not big beer belly burps but just little

ones. It doesn't hurt but is annoying and uncomfortable. I am hoping that once i

start eating that will go away. I know that some people have a lot of trouble

with =different foods (fats/sugars) so hopefully I will speak to a nutrition

person when I am at the hospital.

Any recovery recommendations?

Thanks for thinking of me!

Good for you Jan. Wishing you a successful surgery and recovery.Beth in OKOn May 10, 2010, at 9:00 PM, Jan B wrote:

After 8 years of increasing pain and difficulty I have found a doctor I trust and will have surgery this Friday. I will have a lumbar laminectomy by micro dissection. It is on outpatient procedure. I am told that the relief from pain will be quick and complete but return of normal neurological function will take from 6 to 18 months and may not occur at all. Wish me luck. I have seen several doctors and this doctor is the first I feel confident about. Funny thing is since I scheduled the surgery I have had very little pain or discomfort. Go figure.Jan B
